Parents provide a solid foundation to their offspring and socialize them with cultural values and norms. This socialization process is not only what is taught as ‘do or do not do this’; it is mostly what children observe, touch, sense, see, hears around.

It is social integration that ensures continuity and consensus of shared values in the community (Giddens &Sutton, 2017).
